On this occasion, whilst happily watching the football, the manager/owner, who knows asked me to move. I was not in anyones way. I then got swore at to "****ing move as I cannot see the TV". Never been back in to the pub ever again and wont.

I'm reliably informed that the Waggon was "the place to be" for all the years my friends have lived…read morein Sudbury. Boasting good music and a fine selection of beers. So it was with some trepidation that we embarked on up the road to it knowing full well that hands had changed since last the horde had watered there. We had little to fear. The place is huge, but separated out into a myriad of smaller rooms, some with pretty bits of paraphernalia and one in particular with a glass floor that looked down into the old cellar. "The glass can take a 2 tonne weight" the barman had pointed out helpfully to the panicked girl trying to keep her drunk friends from jumping on it. The Waggon is now part of a brewing franchise so the beers on tap were all custom to the area. A Christmas beer on sale Red Santa was particularly nice but their ordinary fare was also nice. The restaurant wasn't that busy but the food whisking past us looked nice. There were few staff members on (i suppose it was the night before new year, no doubt girding their loins for tomorrow night). But everyone who worked there was friendly and didn't mind suggesting beers when they noticed our "lost in a candy shop" eyes wondering over the taps. The music was interesting but it was all from a CD player behind the bar and they were happy to take requests so i suppose its what you make of it. But i think the thing to conclude is that you will walk past a half dozen pubs on your way to the waggon (and walk you must!), each will be quiet and filled with locals who do the "turn to watch the stranger" thing country people love so much. But you will find perhaps not a more welcoming bar but one more accustomed to a mixed crowd. What i mean to say is i'm sure given time and effort you could break the crowd at the local bar and have a riot. But you'll slot right in at the Waggon without the need for trying. So there it is, enjoy!

We stayed in the Black Boy (the hotel part...come on, even I wouldn't sleep IN the pub!) whilest in…read morethe area for a wedding. It was within walking distance of the train station, in the middle of town and overall was a lovely experience! The pictures on the website don't do it justice. It's no Hilton but the rooms are clean and quite nice. We had a shared bathroom and were hesitatn, only to find out it was a large and really clean bathroom that we only had to wait for once (5 minutes). We left the window open and there was minimal noise at all. The breakfasts (included) are your traditional fry ups, with the chef being super nice when I picked at my breakfast (the wedding was a bit too epic, I was waaaay too hungover). For the pub part, it was a typical pub...the people and staff were super nice and joked around wtih us all night as well all watched the Olympics Opening ceremony together. I'd definitely stay here again, it was my first time staying at a pub B&B with a shared bathroom and it was a great experience!

Perfect for when the summer arrives. Certainly not the case today. Lovely welcome by the front of house manager. Obviously a very Italian influenced restaurant as all the staff we saw were Italian. I learned later that it was a family run business, and it showed in the service. Nothing was too much for them. As I said, we popped in for a snack and ordered a drink and mussels with a portion of fries (very Belgian, my heritage). The mussels were chosen from the starters menu. When they arrived they were in a delicious cream and chilli sauce. The quantity was outstanding. Starter???? We have been in restaurants where this quantity was a main course. With a choice of toasted bread slices. The fries were magnificent and, also, enough for two people. As we ate the chef came past and asked if we liked the mussels 'the way my mama taught me'. 'Use your spoon for the suppa'. A great character and he did know his trade. A very interesting menu and we will return in the evening, some time, to try their main menu. Worth a trip when the weather is fine for, maybe, just a drink from the bar watching the river flow by and the kayaking.
